COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONOur Pale Ale is brewed with five of the finest hops from Yakima WA. To balance the hop flavors, five different American grown malted barleyís add a malt flavor and smooth finish. A spicy, hoppy aroma balanced with malt body makes this beer perfect for relaxing after a hard days work.

I splut this with my wife...I picked it out just for her. It claims that it is good to drink after a hard days work in the sun. I had sat all day inside listening to review lectures and trying to program a Boxee app to watch EMRap videos on, so I donít know if Iím in the target audience.
Regardless after pouring it there was a really thick head because I poured it wrong and it took forever to dissipate. Tastes slightly hoppy and a bit bitter with lemon hiding in there somewhere. I personally didnít like it that much, too bitter, my wife enjoyed it though. I could see drinking maybe one or two of these on a hot day, but not any more.

Bottle - Very grassy with some lemon citrus. Cloudy yellow with a decent minimal head. Bready with a bit of bitterness. A bit of yeast in the finish. Not bad, but nothing special.

bottle. Copper-kissed gold with a thick light golden head that shows beautiful retention and lace. Aroma is hoppy with a sweet caramel background. Peach, melon, and pine hop flavours burst on the palate, followed by a creamy caramel malt base. Moderately bitter finish. This may be too malty for some hopheads, but I really loved the flavours here. A real standout APA in its balance.

12oz brown bottle. Dark gold-orange pour with slight haze. Full off white head with good retention and some nice lacing left behind. Caramel nose, some lemony notes. Flavour starts out with more caramel, slight fruity middle with some citrus hop flavour. Finishes slightly bitter with some grapefruit notes and some pine. Light body, smooth in the mouth, light, soft carbonation. Easy to drink. Nice quaffer.

I may have had a bad batch, but to my nose, the aroma is horridly sweet and marshmellowy. I do like the crisp hoppy finish that lingers long, but the taste is somewhat disappointing. The taste is overcome by the nose for me and there is far too much fizz on the mouth. Not a total waste of money, but I donít think Iíll be buying this one again. Sad, too, because itís from my beloved home state of Idaho.
